College of Engineering graduate programs ranked among nation's best

This year’s U.S. News & World Report ranked the Purdue College of Engineering No. 10, tied with Cornell University. Last year, the college’s graduate program was ranked 11th.

Five of the schools in Engineering are in the top 10 in the country in specialty rankings, including a No. 1 ranking for Agricultural and Biological Engineering. This is their fourth consecutive No. 1 ranking and they are also ranked No. 1 by U.S. News & World Report in the undergraduate rankings. Aeronautics and Astronautics ranked sixth; Civil Engineering ranked sixth, tied with Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Mechanical Engineering ranked ninth, tied with Cornell University; and Electrical Engineering ranked 10th, tied with Princeton University.

Leah Jamieson, The John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering, says “the rankings reflect the collective efforts of everyone in the College. Engineering‘s research expenditures increased by 17% compared to last year, and was clearly a significant factor in moving up in the College-level rankings. This shines a light on the extraordinary efforts of the College of Engineering faculty and staff.”
